With the development of big data and medical information control system, electronic medical records sharing across organizations for better medical treatment and advancement has attracted much attention both from academic and industrial areas. However, the source of big data, personal privacy concern, inherent trust issues across organizations and complicated regulation hinder the great progress of healthcare intelligence. Blockchain, as a novel technique, has been used widely to resolve the privacy and security issues in electronic medical records sharing process. In this paper, we propose a hybrid blockchain–based electronic medical records sharing scheme to address the privacy and trust issues across the medical information control systems, rendering the electronic medical records sharing process secure, effective, relatively transparent, immutable, traceable and auditable. Considering the above confidential issues, we use different sharing methods for different parts of medical big data. We share privacy-sensitive couples on the consortium blockchain, while sharing the non-sensitive parts on the public blockchain. In this way, authorized medical information control systems within the consortium can access the data on it for precise medical diagnosis. Institutions such as universities and research institutes can get access to the non-sensitive parts of medical big data for scientific research on symptoms to evolve medical technologies. A working prototype is implemented to demonstrate how the hybrid blockchain facilitates the pharmaceutical operations in a healthcare information control ecosystem. A blockchain benchmark tool Hyperledger Caliper is used to evaluate the performance of hybrid blockchain–based electronic medical records sharing scheme on throughput and average latency which proves to be practicable and excellent.

The patient’s right to access to electronic medical recordsThe article is devoted to the issue of electronic medical records as a progressive instrument of implementation the patient’s right to information. Reason for such analysis is an obligation of archiving medical records only in electronic form in force since 1 January 2018 as well as possibility to share documentation in the Polish Medical Information System planned from 1 August 2017. Therefore there is a fundamental change in the form in which the patient will obtain access to the records and perform his information rights.In following considerations, the author will peform evaluation of expected law modifications, starting with explanation of the term „electronic medical records” and marking the historical background of development in this range. In the further part, will be presented the advantages of processing electronic.

Existing Health Management Systems are faced with various security and privacy issues such as unauthorized Access to Patient Records, internet security issues, etc. The proposed system mainly focuses on the security of Electronic Medical Records . The purpose of the project entitled “A SECURE eHealth SYSTEM” is to develop software which is user-friendly, fast, and cost-effective. It deals with the collection of patient’s information, Doctor details, Medical information. Traditionally, it was done manually. The main function of the system is to register and store patient details, add symptom and doctor details and retrieve these details as and when required, and also to manipulate these details meaningfully. System input contains patient details, doctor details while system output is to appoint a doctor for the patient, display these details on the screen, securely generated electronic medical records, forward prescriptions to the medical store. The eHealth system can be entered using a unique ID generated during registration and password. It is accessible either by a doctor, patient, pharmacist. Only registered members add data into a database. The data can be retrieved easily. The data is well protected and the data processing becomes very fast.

Objectives:Information technology is a rapidly expanding branch of science which has affected other sciences. One example of using information technology in medicine is the Electronic Medical Records system. One medical university in Iran decided to introduce such system in its hospital. This study was designed to identify the factors which influence the quality of medical documentation when paper-based records are replaced with electronic records.Methods:A set of 300 electronic medical records was randomly selected and evaluated against eleven checklists in terms of documentation of medical information, availability, accuracy and ease of use. To get the opinion of the care-providers on the electronic medical records system, ten physicians and ten nurses were interviewed by using of semi-structured guidelines. The results were also compared with a prior study with 300 paper-based medical records.Results:The quality of documentation of the medical records was improved in areas where nurses were involved, but those parts which needed physicians' involvement were actually worse. High workloads, shortage of bedside hardware and lack of software features were prominent influential factors in the quality of documentation. The results also indicate that the retrieval of information from the electronic medical records is easier and faster, especially in emergency situations.Conclusions:The electronic medical records system can be a good substitute for the paper-based medical records system. However, according to this study, some factors such as low physician acceptance of the electronic medical record system, lack of administrative mechanisms (for instance supervision, neglecting physicians and/or nurses in the development and implementation phases and also continuous training), availability of hardware as well as lack of specific software features can negatively affect transition from a paper-based system to an electronic system.
